About us

There is a perceptible shift in the way people search,access and relate to news these days. The emergence of the web and the almost tectonic shift to the hand-held’s has given rise to a phenomenon called Social Media, which in its wake, has brought about a paradigm shift, nothing sort of a revolution.

Core Communique wants to be one of the early adopters – to create a platform that we can use to communicate with discerning readers on the one hand, while being the chosen vehicle that our associates can use to spin their corporate yarns on the other. Decades of experience – in hardcore journalism, corporate communication, brand building and emerging media – will be sought to be married so that the twin needs, for information and communication can be addressed simultaneously.

In this quest, Core Communique will not be a stand alone offering and as we move on, we will certainly increase the banquet of our offerings. Yes, the resources are limited and the way ahead perilous but we are confident – of our abilities and hope to work on the good wishes, help and support you have showered us with over the last five years, during our earlier avatar as a print magazine.

Do haul us up if we stumble, tell us where we fail to reach your expectations. For, we have come this far because you extended your hand of support, co-operation and guidance and we have miles to go to reach the pulpit where you want to see us.
